Basicly, take a brand spankin new Xacto blade and cut just above the glued bead on the inner sidewall. Remove old foam, insert new foam and re-glue. run a small bead on the outside as well just for security.

Or you can soak one side in acetone and hope you can re-glue them after. Hasn't worked for me yet though.

For tires, try the Splitters or Hybrids. They both work very well on loose dusty tracks around here.

I would findout for yourself about the open and closed cell foams. I haven't liked closed cells for most of the tracks I run.
Yes on cutting the the tire to change inserts. NO on using Acetone with a clay compound tire. It will "kill" the tire.
